AI-First Projects
We’re looking for hackathons and meetups that empower developers to build with Artificial Intelligence (LLMs, Generative Media, new AI interfaces, atec.)
In-Person Only
We believe the best building happens in the same room; we focus our sponsorship on physical events.
Give us a Head Start
We move fast, but the earlier you apply, the better. Applying early ensures we have plenty of time to get everything ready.
The feedback from the team building with ElevenLabs has been great!
The energy around ElevenLabs was incredible - builders genuinely loved working with the API, and we saw some very creative voice integrations come out of it.
Everyone loved being able to use ElevenLabs.
It went really well with overwhelmingly positive feedback about ElevenLabs' involvement.
Students had a lovely time and they really liked working with ElevenLabs.
The participants really enjoyed being able to use ElevenLabs' products.
To train the assistant to speak local languages was a powerful demonstration of the impact of ElevenLabs when applied in a highly localized context.
We've successfully concluded our event, and it was a great success! Almost everybody used ElevenLabs, and it was certainly instrumental in most of the projects.
ElevenLabs was the most loved API at our event.

If your event is selected, please share a .csv file containing the list of participant email addresses at least 72 hours before the start of the event.
We'll be in touch via email regarding the .csv file.
The fastest path is to fill out our 30-second sponsorship request form this page redirects to. It helps us understand the basics - event size, date, focus, etc. Once submitted, we typically respond within 1-2 business days with our offer.
For events already connected to ElevenLabs through another existing partner, support may be provisioned automatically. Check in with your primary contact first.
When you run a dedicated ElevenLabs prize track, here's what we look for in the winning project:
- Agentic depth: does the project go beyond basic text-to-speech? We prioritize autonomous agents that handle multi-step tasks using voice, in multiple languages.
- Voice as a necessity, not a feature: the best projects treat voice interaction as core to the experience, not a layer added at the end.
- Real-world utility: does the tool solve a genuine problem, or serve a user group that would actually benefit from it?
- Technical execution: clean integration with the ElevenLabs API, creative use of our capabilities (voices, cloning, agents).
Unless we specify otherwise, you're welcome to delegate winner selection to your organizing team, just use these criteria as your guide.
We currently only sponsor in-person hackathons. This is mainly a fraud prevention measure: online-only events make it very hard to verify that credits reach real, attending participants rather than being bulk-claimed.
For hybrid events, we're happy to support the in-person component only. We'll base the participant count and prize scope on the in-person attendees, and require a verified list of physical check-ins rather than total registrations.
Here's what we typically ask for in return of the tool access we provide:
- Branding: Please feature our logo on all hackathon materials and the website according to our brand guidelines (https://elevenlabs.io/brand).
- Hacker guide: please share our Hacker guide with all participants - the guide contains links to the documentation needed to kickstart hacking with ElevenLabs. Hacker guide link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mCh5MtOzBw0aJpurQVUmIVFfPMAHW3MjNemE-LNiMto/edit?usp=sharing
- Feedback: After the event, please fill out our 30-second-fill organizer feedback form and encourage participants to fill out the hacker feedback form found in the Hacker’s guide. Organizer feedback form link: https://forms.gle/9SewjuE2UoXVvmSy9
- Event highlights: After the event, please provide the following:
- A photo/video from the event that we can share on the page dedicated to the hackathons we support with crediting the event (the page is not yet live)
- Link to the best project built with ElevenLabs
Yes, with a few guardrails. You're welcome to use our logo and mention ElevenLabs in your event comms, as long as you follow our brand guidelines: https://elevenlabs.io/brand
Please don't create content that implies an official ElevenLabs endorsement beyond the sponsorship scope, or use our branding in ways that haven't been agreed.
Except a few exceptional cases, we can't commit to in-person attendance for most events. The team is small and spread across time zones, so we often can't align schedules, especially for events outside major hubs.
Please refer to the judging criteria guidance we shared above so your team can evaluate the ElevenLabs track with confidence, plus prizes ready to go for the winners.
Generally, we don't have the bandwidth to run workshops or demo our API/Agents. For most hackathons, we instead provide a Hacker Guide: a concise resource covering how to get started with ElevenLabs, key API features, and tips for building voice-forward projects fast.
